Clare-Marie was a member of the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> Wahine volleyball team. When she was accepted into <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>, her hard work paid off, and she was rewarded with a full four-year merit scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She was awarded a scholarship from John Burns (School of Medicine), which was wonderful, because&#8212;as it\u2019s been for most families here I would imagine&#8212;it\u2019s been a financial challenge to get this far.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Also expressing a mix of pride and gratitude was the mother of <strong>Billie Ryman Ocampo<\/strong>, a member of the <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> Class of 2022 from the Pacific Island of Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I just want to say a shout out to everyone in Saipan, to to all our family and a big congratulations to my son Billie,&rdquo; said Maria Pensader. &ldquo;We\u2019re very happy for (<abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>) to give my son a chance to study here, yes.
